PACKAGE FOR MIXED PAINTS.

1'0 ctZZ whom it may concern;

Be it known that we, EDWARD T. MASON and FRANK A. BERGMAN, citizens ofthe United States, residing in Chicago, in the county of Cook and Stateof Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Packages forMixed Paints, of which the following is a specification.

The nature of this invention, which relates to and is designed to be animprovement in some particulars upon the larger sizes of packages formixed liquid paints, is fully disclosed in the drawings accompanying,wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved can. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section of the same upon the plane 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is acentral vertical section enlarged.

In the drawings, A represents the body or cylinder, and A A the heads,of a metal vessel adapted to contain and preserve, say, five gallons orupward of mixed liquid paints. Theheads are of thin I 0 tin, to permitoftheir being readily cut out to admit the brush when the paint is to beused directly therefrom. The body is of thicker metal-say I X tin. Asvessels of this size containing heavy liquids like these paints will besubject to great risk in handling, by reason of the thin metal heads, weprovide them with wood jackets, the bodies B whereof extend beyond thevessel at both ends, so that the heads of the vessel will be sunkenwithin such bodies sufficiently to render them reasonably safe frominjury. The heads are, however, further protected by wood heads B, ofthin stuff, as shown, so they may be also cutout. The latter are securedwithin the jacket by the interior hoops, O, nailed ortacked to thejacket. If these hoops are so attached as to be readily removable, theheads B may then be lifted out, instead of being cut through, when thecan is to be opened.

In applying the cylindrical part of the jacket the wood is first benttightly around the cylindrical vessel, and then secured by hoops D D,after which the heads B are put in and fastened. Thus the cylinderof thevessel and the cylinder of the jacket are made to fit one another soclosely as to cause them mutually to support one another. The pack agesare filled at the opening covered by the screw-cap e, which is thensoldered fast. Instead of this cap, a cap soldered to the head, as infruit-cans, may be used. Being thus sealed, the package may safely berolled, as a barrel is rolled, from one location to another. Thisadaptation is one benefit attending the invention. as the rollingoperation mixes and retards the separation of the constituents of thepaints, and for this reason we have sought to so form the package as torender rolling the most easy and natural method of moving it.

We claim 1. The package for mixed liquid paints, consisting of thesealed cylindrical vessel A A, the heads being of thin metal, and a woodjacket projecting beyond the heads of the vessel, and consisting of thecylinder B, the heads I113, and the hoops O D, substantially as speci-'2. The package for mixed liquid paints, consisting of the inner metalvessel having heads formed of thin metal, a covering-jacket pr0- jectingbeyond said heads, and thin or readilyremovable wood heads secured insaid jacket, substantially as specified.
